General inquirings of a noob

Hi i’m c4n otherwise known as Craig Drakon i have played numerous MMOs

swg, eq, MXO, wow, ao, couple more i can’t think of i just need a good mentor right now i am always thing up stuff and i understand that i just joined on tuesday and a guy was telling me sweating has recently gotten harder but i have already earned a jester d1 and a pixie armor harness i just wanna know how can i buy ammo and it be profitable for me to kill mobs cause i started out walked to Camp phoenix cause a guy told me to sweated for quite a while got my stuff bought 200 ammo and killed mobs but it seems when i kill mobs it only profits me enough to buy more ammo and not even that i currently have no ammo so back to sweating and i realised its so hard and no one seems willing to let me sweat while they hunt so i have a delimma (SP) and dunno what to do and i know this game holds lots of promise and i haven’t seen much of it thus far. (Sorry for run on)

You are right.. you can make profit from hunting when you are a noob. You should be happy if you can brake even after a hunt. You have to sweat, gather fruits or start trading in order to get some money. If you want to deposit it is much more easy. But I sugest to not deposit for a week or two if you want to know how the game works. Otherwise you probably spent all your money on hunting. If you want to trade.. than it’s a good option to deposit soon. It is posible to play whitout deposit any money but is hard. I played 2 mo before I deposit and I could go on but I thought was time to deposit. It’s your choice.
Good Luck .. and wellcome to Calypso

i recommend depositing as well :))

when i first started it was much easyer as ever mob had loot i played for 4 months, just sweating to pay for my D-1 and some pixie armor and my first load of ammo. :girl:

after 4 months i got a 97 PED HoF (yes a really small HoF but still a HoF) and that lasted me ages. :laugh:
it was 6 months before i made my first deposit and i wish i never did because i find myself making one each week now even when i have PEDs on my card i still deposit :dunce:

Hi C4n (How got this Spelled, Cain ? Ceforn? Can ?)

There is a High Chance you lose Monney while Hunting Even if you lucky sometimes the Moment WILL Come where you have bad luck. Also Crafting and Tailoring are PED Graves in the Beginning. Mining Could Work, but you have not Enough Monney to make a serious Bomb Run, Mining can become a real PED Grave, i allready found out that :laugh: .

But dont Worry, there is Hope

For Sweating go South East of Port Atlantis, you find Exaosaurus and Combibos there and Usally a Lot of Hunters. You can try to Follow them and gather Sweat. You can also Move near the Beach and Trying to Sweat the Animals until they Notice you. If that Happen run into the Wather and let them Drown. Same works if you Lure them near the City where the Guard Tower do the Job.

If you plan NOT Depositing you have to Figure Out the Marked Value of Ressources and Reselling them. Buy Cheap from Hunters/Miners sell Expensive to Crafters/Tailors. Get one of the most Hated but most needed Profession in PE :slight_smile: But i beat you not Statisfied by hanging all Time in Port Atlantis Reselling Stuff. You want Action, do you ?

To get a Taste of PE i suggest you to Download that Map.
The Blue Dots are Teleporter, once Activated you can Jump between them for Free. Get a look at Calypso check out what others do all Day.

On this Map you also find the Oil Rig. A Place created to Pleasure the Übers who see it as Sport to Hunt down all Orange Looking Newbies they can Catch ,) On the Oil Rig you can get a Can of Oil you can Sell. It Pops out from Time to Time and is always Siged by a lot of People. If you see Skam building a Castle out of Oil better Run, she Proably Shoot first and ask later if you would Destroy the Building :silly2: If you have the Luck (getting a HOF seems more Easy than have Luck on Rig) you can Sell the Oil for like 110% at the Trade Terminal Value. Even if you not Lucky, the Location is Pretty Impressive Designed with Lots of Space Wrecks Death Robots and War Stuff.

Another Way to get free Monney is gather Fruits. Dont search them, they Search and find you. They Pop around you if you not Running from time to Time. But its not more than a nice Addiction than a way to make Monney.

If you gatherd enough Monney and Tired of Reselling Stuff just get you 3 or 4 Axes 1x0 and a Jester or Man MPH for the Beginning and Try out your Luck. A few People have never Deposited, always got the HOF (High Loot Payout) on the Right Time. Others Pumping Horrible Ammounts of Dollars into PE and losing it (That are both Extremes, the Average is somewhere between it.) If you see a Strange Guy telling you about a God called Lootius and wanna Sell you a Fruit for 40 pec TAKE it , i heard it give you a better HOF Chance :smiley:

What will your Fortune ? Find out and good Luck

PS :

Good Mentors are Rare. Most just want you to become your Disciple because if you Graduate they Recive a nice Item for you. They just Accept Everyone calculation a few Percent will make it. You wont get any Support from them as soon you cant Kick them anymore. So be carefull and Choose whisely. If you spend Time Reading the Manual and the Help Sections you can even made it without Mentor. But having one is a nice Thing and build up Friendship, making a lot more Easy to get Settled.

Explore your Abilitys, get an Image about PE and decide if you Stay/Leave with or without Deposit Monney.

Kind Regards
Fiona

Thankyou Fiona you were very insiteful, my name is Can its my initials i do plan to stay on pe i don’t mind sweating i just don’t like being in hoards of sweaters, i like to explore its fun especially when its new land i think i will visit this “Oil Rig” i think i will just slack a few days and wander maybe pick up some friends.

Nice responses :slight_smile:
C it is rather difficult to recommend doing different things to both newbs and vets alike… some of the hunting questions you have we all share :smiley: So, think of PE as a sort of labyrinth that you must make your way through, learning pieces here and there as you go.
B/c you are still new, pls check out the PERC website ( www.perc.info )… you will find very helpful guides for newbs as well as auction stats, armor stats, tutorials, etc… it’s immense and very helpful :girl:

An initial deposit in game will help you get your start, but if you do this PLS take the time to do what you have already done… ask around in the community for advice. Too often newbs spend some money upfront only to see it disappear in a week’s time :eek: Proper weapons to your skills is a must. At your point, pick your weapon of choice (pistol or rifle) and get the cheapest one (ie. Jester). then go and hunt for A LONG time :handgun: Kill everything you can… buy up as much ammo as possible and just go for it. It does seem that the longer you can hunt in a given sitting, the better your chances will be of breaking even (but not every1 would agree).

Will you definitely break even? No… there are no definitives in PE. You might come out on top after a week, you might not. Collect all of the hides, skins and paint you loot and sell them… check auctions and PERC for up-to-date pricing… if you plan on selling your looted items it is best to be known as a fair trader so don’t jack up prices b/c it will only hurt in the end.

Keep sweating until you cannot any longer. Though it is dull, it is free and free is good :wink:

View everything you do in game as the way you would the road of life… build skills, friendships and knowledge… everything else will fall into place.

Two well-deserved reputation bonuses now go to Fiona Simmons and Svetlana for being kind and very wise :wise:

I strongly agree with you, Svetlana :girl:

those two, named fiona and svetlana, are really good people in explaining :smiley:
and also, i am a discipletaker (or mentor) only have/had a few, but thats becouse i only take depositers,)
and yes, be warned for "show"mentors, as i fell for it too and now i cant remove him, and got to much skills to stop.

Well today i sacrificed my Pixie armor harness for ped and bought ammo i went outside Pa killed 1 mob died twice and then logged and i have like 90 something ammo left i can proly kill 1 more mob and get a little ped then i won’t have enough for more ammo what shall i do?

I have been playing for 3 mo … so I’m still a noob, but this is my advice.
Try to hunt snablesnot, they are easy to kill. Try the young one .. i always kill them without armor. If you hunt with axe you can try mature and old too.
North af Forth Caravan is a place full of snable young. That place is far away but is very good for noob hunting.
Hope I see u in the game !

Seconded.
